Firestone to bring softer tires to Milwaukee

The Firestone IRL tire specification for this year's race at the Milwaukee Mile is all-new for both the left and right side. This tire was developed based on results gathered at Firestone's private test at Richmond International Raceway in March. These Firestone Firehawks are designed to provide slightly more grip on both sides. Firestone engineers will bring this new left-side compound to both Milwaukee and Richmond, with unique right-side compounds for each track.
